Stronger 4x4 CV Axles?

[Triplel40]

Took my 88 out and did some rock crawling and trail riding today, and couldn't help but be annoyed by the popping noises coming from both CV axles whenever I had to turn the wheel at all, or when the suspension flexed either direction. After breaking 2 axles last year under a different situation, those popping noises sounded more like nails on a chalkboard to me. Gotta say, I love my IFS for high speed trail riding and desert racing, but it's definitely gotta be about worthless when it comes to the angles that rock crawling requires. A friend of mine sent me a link to these axles, and everyone I've talked to about them are very impressed, but with a $2000 price tag for 2 axles, wow! I think I'll just be a little more careful with it and stick with my stock axles! Just thought I'd share these in case anybody's got an extreme IFS 4 wheeler out there and might want to look into them. These are for an 88 K1500, but you can search for other vehicles under the "Products" tab.

i like the way you think! not sure $2k will cover that though

i thought it was 2k per cv

 

[Vortec Lover]

your axles will be pretty much invincible, the rest of your front end not so much

Nope it's 2k per pair, but still outrageous. Even with a lifetime warranty.

man for that price, id try to brake them a few times to use the lifetime warranty, then you got your moneys worth ^^^

if i was building a prerunner type deal and needed to stick with the ifs and had no expense spared then those would be what thats for otherwise thats a waste of 2k
